Buntaa Orange Pop Press Note
For a generation that grew up enjoying bright orange sodas at family gatherings, roadside stalls and neighbourhood stores, the flavour evokes a strong sense of nostalgia. Bun-Taa! Orange Pop recreates that experience for today’s consumers who are increasingly looking for beverages that balance taste with mindful choices.
Commenting on the launch, Ishan Varshnei, Co-Founder and CEO, Latambarcem Brewers, said, “Orange soda is a flavour many of us grew up with, and we wanted to bring back that familiar experience in a way that reflects how consumers eat and drink today. Bun-Taa! Orange Pop is our take on a nostalgic favourite, reimagined for people looking for better-for-you choices without compromising on taste.”
Gautam Swaroop, Chief Business Officer – Instamart said, “Our recent trends have shown us that while consumers still love familiar Indian flavours, they’re also becoming more curious about trying them in new formats, especially when there’s a wellness or functional element to them. Bun-Taa! Orange Pop brings that idea to a flavour many of us grew up with, pairing the nostalgia of orange soda with a contemporary, functional twist. We’re happy to give consumers a chance to rediscover a familiar favourite in a whole new way.”
Each 250ml can contains Bacillus coagulans (17654) with over 2 billion CFU of live probiotics, along with Borecha’s proprietary Gut Culture blend comprising Indian Gooseberry (Amla), Licorice Root, Bibhitaki and Haritaki, ingredients traditionally known to support digestion and gut health. The beverage contains zero sugar, achieved through a blend of stevia (INS 960) and sucralose (INS 955), and is made without artificial flavours or preservatives. It is vegan, gluten-free and priced at INR 49 per can.
Orange Pop joins the existing Bun-Taa! portfolio of Masala Cola, Basil Shikanji and Basil Soda Shikanji, further strengthening the brand’s range of functional beverages inspired by India’s vintage soda culture. Through the portfolio, Borecha aims to create refreshing alternatives that celebrate familiar Indian flavours while aligning with evolving consumer preferences.
Bun-Taa! Orange Pop is now available on quick commerce platforms including Instamart across Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, supported by a digital-first campaign celebrating the return of one of India’s most-loved soft drink flavours in a modern format.
